Description

Accéléromètres implantés Accelerometers implanted
La présente invention est relative à un bloc avant pour véhicule automobile, du type comprenant un bouclier propre à envelopper au moins une partie de la structure du véhicule et au moins un capteur de détection de collision.The present invention relates to a front block for a motor vehicle, of the type comprising a shield adapted to envelop at least a portion of the vehicle structure and at least one collision detection sensor.
Les véhicules automobiles comprennent de plus en plus de capteurs concernant le domaine de la sécurité. En particulier, ils comportent des capteurs mis en place pour augmenter la protection du piéton. La détection d'une collision avec un piéton par le capteur déclenche des mesures de sécurité conçues pour protéger le piéton comme par exemple l'activation d'un capot.Motor vehicles include more and more sensors in the field of security. In particular, they include sensors set up to increase pedestrian protection. The detection of a collision with a pedestrian by the sensor triggers security measures designed to protect the pedestrian such as the activation of a hood.
Le bloc avant du véhicule comporte des capteurs fixés au bouclier qui assurent la détection d'une collision et le déclenchement des mesures de sécurité lors d'une collision entre le bouclier et un piéton ou lors d'une collision entre un pare-chocs relié au bouclier et un piéton.The front block of the vehicle has sensors attached to the shield that ensure the detection of a collision and the triggering of safety measures in a collision between the shield and a pedestrian or in a collision between a bumper connected to the shield and a pedestrian.
Cependant, les exigences d'aspect de la face visible du véhicule sont entravées par le rattachement des capteurs au bouclier par l'intermédiaire d'accrochés tels que des fûts ou des nervures réalisés par moulage sur le bouclier. Souvent, la courbure de la face visible et la forme du capteur ne sont pas complémentaires et des lignes de style doivent être ajoutées sur la face visible afin de cacher le capteur et ainsi garder l'aspect désiré de la face visible.However, the appearance requirements of the visible face of the vehicle are hampered by the attachment of the sensors to the shield through hooked such as drums or ribs made by molding on the shield. Often, the curvature of the visible side and the shape of the sensor are not complementary and style lines must be added on the visible side in order to hide the sensor and thus keep the desired aspect of the visible face.

En particulier à la partie avant de la structure qui correspond à la portion située devant le conducteur et qui comporte les organes essentiels du véhicule comme le moteur.The front block 2 is intended to be attached to the structure (not shown) of the vehicle. In particular at the front part of the structure which corresponds to the portion in front of the driver and which comprises the essential organs of the vehicle such as the engine.
Le boulier 4 présente en section horizontale (Figure 2) une forme de U comportant deux extrémités 12, 14 sensiblement parallèles s'étendant dans une direction suivant sensiblement la longueur du véhicule et une partie centrale 16 raccordée aux deux extrémités 12, 14 qui s'étend suivant la largeur du véhicule.The abacus 4 has in horizontal section (Figure 2) a U-shaped having two substantially parallel ends 12, 14 extending in a direction substantially along the length of the vehicle and a central portion 16 connected to both ends 12, 14 which extends according to the width of the vehicle.
Le bouclier 4 comprend une face extérieure 18 susceptible d'entrer en contact avec le piéton lors d'une collision. C'est la face visible du bouclier lorsque ce dernier est monté sur le véhicule. Le bouclier 4 comprend aussi une face intérieure 20 qui est en vis-à-vis de Ia structure du véhicule lorsque le bouclier 4 est monté sur le véhicule.The shield 4 comprises an outer face 18 capable of coming into contact with the pedestrian during a collision. This is the visible side of the shield when it is mounted on the vehicle. The shield 4 also includes an inner face 20 which is vis-à-vis the vehicle structure when the shield 4 is mounted on the vehicle.
Chaque extrémité 12, 14 comporte un corps délimitant un orifice destiné à recevoir une tige et un écrou pince pour la fixation du bouclier 4 à la structure du véhicule. La partie centrale 16 du bouclier comprend un corps délimitant une ouverture 22 sensiblement oblongue dans l'exemple illustré à Ia figure 1.Each end 12, 14 comprises a body defining an orifice for receiving a rod and a clamp nut for fixing the shield 4 to the vehicle structure. The central part 16 of the shield comprises a body delimiting an opening 22 substantially oblong in the example illustrated in FIG.
L'ouverture 22 est destinée à laisser entrer l'air pour, notamment, refroidir Ie moteur. La grille d'entrée d'air 8 est fixée dans cette ouverture 22. Le pare-chocs 6 est fixé sur la structure du véhicule. Il comprend un élément supérieur 24 et un élément inférieur 26 qui sont respectivement situés en vis-à-vis de la partie supérieure et inférieure de la face intérieure 20 du bouclier 4. Les éléments supérieur 24 et inférieur 26 permettent de fixer le bouclier 4 à la structure par l'intermédiaire, par exemple, de tiges et d'écrous pince.The opening 22 is intended to let in air to, in particular, cool the engine. The air inlet grille 8 is fixed in this opening 22. The bumper 6 is fixed on the vehicle structure. It comprises an upper element 24 and a lower element 26 which are located respectively vis-à-vis the upper and lower part of the inner face 20 of the shield 4. The upper elements 24 and lower 26 make it possible to fix the shield 4 to the structure via, for example, rods and clamp nuts.
La grille d'entrée d'air 8 comprend un corps 27 sensiblement plan délimitant un passage de circulation d'air 28 et deux pattes 30, 32 de support d'un capteur disposées à ses extrémités. La grille 8 est attachée à la face intérieure 20 du bouclier 4 par l'intermédiaire d'accrochés de façon à ce que le passage de circulation d'air 28 soit dans l'axe de l'ouverture oblongue 22 du bouclier 4.The air inlet grille 8 comprises a substantially plane body 27 delimiting an air circulation passage 28 and two support lugs 30, 32 of a sensor disposed at its ends. The grid 8 is attached to the inner face 20 of the shield 4 by means of hooked so that the air flow passage 28 is in the axis of the oblong opening 22 of the shield 4.
Le passage 28 a une forme sensiblement rectangulaire et comporte des lames 34 formant une grille notamment destinée à guider le flux d'air entrant.The passage 28 has a substantially rectangular shape and comprises blades 34 forming a gate in particular for guiding the flow of incoming air.
Les pattes 30, 32 sont venues de moulage ou de forme avec la grille 8. Elles délimitent chacune une ouverture 36 propre à recevoir une tige et un écrou pince afin de solidariser le capteur de détection de collision 10 à la grille d'entrée d'air 8 (Figure 3). Chaque patte 30, 32 est située de part et d'autre du corps 27 et s'étend sensiblement parallèlement le long de la face intérieure 20 du bouclier 4. Elles sont séparées de la face intérieure 20 du bouclier 4 par une distance de moins de 50 mm et de préférence comprise entre 5 et 40mm.The tabs 30, 32 are molded or shaped with the grid 8. They each define an opening 36 adapted to receive a rod and a clamp nut to secure the collision detection sensor 10 to the input gate of air 8 (Figure 3). Each tab 30, 32 is located on either side of the body 27 and extends substantially parallel along the inner face 20 of the shield 4. They are separated from the inner face 20 of the shield 4 by a distance of less than 50 mm and preferably between 5 and 40 mm.
Les pattes 30, 32 s'étendent sensiblement dans le prolongement du corps 27. Chaque capteur 10 est fixé seulement sur sa patte associée 30, 32 en vis-à-vis de la face intérieure 20 du bouclier 4. A cet effet, chaque patte 30, 32 définit un logement 37 de réception d'un capteur 10 de sorte que la distance entre le capteur 10 et la patte 30, 32 soit comprise entre 0 et 25mm. Les pattes 30, 32 et/ou le bouclier 4 sont réalisés préférentiellement en polypropylène.The tabs 30, 32 extend substantially in the extension of the body 27. Each sensor 10 is fixed only on its associated tab 30, 32 vis-à-vis the inner face 20 of the shield 4. For this purpose, each leg 30, 32 defines a housing 37 for receiving a sensor 10 so that the distance between the sensor 10 and the tab 30, 32 is between 0 and 25mm. The tabs 30, 32 and / or the shield 4 are preferably made of polypropylene.
Lors d'une collision entre le véhicule et un piéton, l'impact entre le piéton et le bouclier 4 est détecté par chaque capteur 10 qui est positionné proche du bouclier 4 et lui est lié par l'intermédiaire de la grille 8. Le signal d'un des capteurs 10 permet Ie déclenchement desdites mesures de sécurité conçu pour protéger Ie piéton comme, par exemple, l'activation d'un capot. Grâce au rattachement des capteurs 10 à la patte 30, 32 de la grille d'entrée d'air 8, les exigences d'aspect de la face visible du boulier 4 ne sont plus entravées.In a collision between the vehicle and a pedestrian, the impact between the pedestrian and the shield 4 is detected by each sensor 10 which is positioned close to the shield 4 and it is linked through the gate 8. The signal of one of the sensors 10 allows the triggering of said security measures designed to protect the pedestrian such as, for example, the activation of a hood. By attaching the sensors 10 to the tab 30, 32 of the air inlet grille 8, the appearance requirements of the visible face of the abacus 4 are no longer impeded.
Selon une variante chaque patte 30, 32 comprend au moins une zone de liaison au bouclier 4, notamment par l'extrémité opposée à celle reliant la patte 30, 32 à la grille 8.According to a variant, each tab 30, 32 comprises at least one shield connection zone 4, in particular at the end opposite to that connecting the tab 30, 32 to the grid 8.
Selon une autre variante, chaque patte 30, 32 comprend au moins une zone de soudure ayant une épaisseur d'au moins 2 mm, la zone de soudure étant destinée à raccorder la patte 30, 32 au bouclier 4.According to another variant, each lug 30, 32 comprises at least one welding zone having a thickness of at least 2 mm, the welding zone being intended to connect the lug 30, 32 to the shield 4.
Selon encore une autre variante et comme illustré en Figure 4, chaque patte 30, 32 comprend un fût 38 intégré à la patte 30, 32. Le fût 38 est propre à recevoir une tige afin de solidariser le capteur 10 à la patte 30,According to another variant and as illustrated in FIG. 4, each lug 30, 32 comprises a shank 38 integrated in the lug 30, 32. The shank 38 is adapted to receive a rod in order to secure the sensor 10 to the lug 30,
32.32.
Selon une autre variante la ou chaque patte 30, 32 est montée par soudure ou par collage avec la grille 8. Selon encore une autre variante, le capteur 10 comporte une ou plusieurs pattes 30, 32. La ou chaque patte est surmoulée totalement ou partiellement sur le capteur. La ou chaque patte peut ainsi être directement reliée au bouclier 4 ou à la grille 8 comme, par exemple, par collage ou par soudage. La ou chaque patte 30, 32 reliée au capteur 10 peut ainsi s'étendre sensiblement à proximité ou en liaison de la grille 8. La ou chaque patte 30, 32 est de préférence solidarisée sur la face intérieure du bouclier 4.According to another variant the or each lug 30, 32 is mounted by welding or gluing with the grid 8. According to yet another variant, the sensor 10 comprises one or more tabs 30, 32. The or each tab is overmolded totally or partially on the sensor. The or each leg can thus be directly connected to the shield 4 or the gate 8, for example by gluing or welding. The or each tab 30, 32 connected to the sensor 10 may thus extend substantially near or in connection with the grid 8. The or each tab 30, 32 is preferably secured to the inner face of the shield 4.
